Answer 3

Some kids are mean because of their life at home. Maybe they don't get much attention. Also, they could be jealous of someone else, so they act mean. For example, let's say that Amanda is a very nice girl. She has everything like Coach, Juicy Couture, Hollister, Abercrombie & Fitch, and Aeropastale. Amanda is very nice, smart, and is beautiful. Everyone likes her and wants to be her friend. Then, another girl comes along. Her name is Karla. Karla is mean, ugly, and stupid. She doesn't have anything and her parents don't pay any attention to her. Karla will be jealous and mean to Amanda. This is how kids are. It is human nature; and should be stopped. Or, let's say that Amanda is good friends with Rachel, who is very nice. Another girl, Renee, is also good friends with Rachel. She might be jealous of Amanda because she is very good friends with Rachel. Rachel is caught in the middle. This is what happens everywhere. People who have lots of things are usually very nice, but not always. Trust your instincts.

Answer 4

Not all are. This is the worst part of a child's life because it is very emotional and is filled with peer pressure, limitations, freedoms, and other responsibilities. Some teenagers become depressed and are influenced by negative things that only add to their problems and cause them to become seemingly mean when they really need help and relief from their distress.

Answer 5

• If your parents punish you for something then you probably deserved it. If you don't follow house rules such as doing chores around the house; doing your homework; coming home at the time your parents ask you to; get after you for hanging around with the wrong crowd, etc., then your parents are not being mean. Your parents love you enough to teach you how to have manners; follow rules (there are lots of rules in life); keep you safe and teach you what isn't safe; how to choose friends wisely and only want you to get a good education and become a well rounded person who will be successful in life. If your parents beat you; physically abuse you then this is wrong and you or a relative should report them to Child Aid and you will either end up with another relative in the family or go into Foster Care. It is true that not all people should have children and that there are bad parents out there. I'm guessing your parents are good parents and you just want your way.

Answer 6

I’d rather walk past a prison yard during recreational outdoor time then walk past a high school parking lot during lunch and for the simple fact that a ribbon of barbed wire stands between me and the conscienceless criminal population while there’s nothing protecting me from the brutal barbs of teenagers. If you think I’m being extraordinarily sensitive then you haven’t had the misfortune of walking through the halls of a high school lately. I had to make that perilous journey a few months ago and my ego is still recovering from the unsolicited and creatively inspired battering it took. If, like me, you fear teenagers in much the same way that others fear natural disasters or Great White Sharks, which is to say irrationally, then you’ll want to pay particular attention to the findings of a recent study concerning the emotional deficits of the teenage mind. The study, which was recently published in the academic journal Developmental Psychology, is discussed at length in an article in the Wall Street Journal. Done by researchers in the Netherlands, the study reveals that when it comes to thinking of people’s feelings, teenagers’ brains are a work in progress. The ability to feel another person’s pain, or to imagine how another person feels doesn’t develop overnight. For girls, it begins around age 13. For boys, it takes a bit longer, starting around age 15. In addition to the ability to imagine someone’s pain — called cognitive empathy — teenagers are also working on their ability to respond to someone’s feelings directly — called affective empathy. As the WSJ article points out, it was previously believed that empathy developed during childhood. Now it seems that the development of empathy may begin during infancy but it increases in strength over time. That change occurs in relationship to parental influence as well as maturity. Basically, teens age into empathy. For adults the study’s findings underline a few conflicting ideas. For one, it reveals how important parental influence is on the development of a child’s character — kids who are taught to think of others have a better chance of one day being empathetic individuals. But on the other hand, it suggests that patience, too, is a requirement. It takes time for kids and teenagers to become moral beings. And as an adult, well beyond remembering what it’s like to be a teenager, I’ve got to wonder if the development of empathy is the work of a lifetime.

Answer 7

It is because teenagers are going through puberty - when this happens their emotions become unsettled because their bodies are changing so much.

Answer 8

No one knows, but there could be many reasons why. Some kids who are constantly mean to each other are bullies that try to hurt other people.
